A Bookstore's 'First-Ever Purchase' Discount

Shelf Awareness

"The other day, two young girls came in with their parents and paid for their books using their very own money--mostly in quarters, dimes, and nickels. I asked the parents if they often bought books using their hard-earned money. The mother responded yes, and that for her youngest daughter, it was her first purchase using her own money... EVER! 
And it made me reflect: How great is it that we still live in a world where kids' first-ever purchases are a book?!

"P.S.--I gave them a 'first-ever-purchase' discount."
